Never happen in a million years. Hillary turn at bat will be 2008.
Hillary does not run when there is a chance to lose.
My borders "says" they have 4 copies and offered dto hold one for me.
Oh no!
Bad joke giggle and booo!
LOL, I actually checked the Drudge site to be sure that wasn't the actual Drudge head line. Thought maybe Kerry's polls sunk real deep.
The Kerry campaign calls on a conservative publisher to withdraw a book after the Washington Post torpedoes the veracity of a Swift boat veteran.
The Kerry campaign has told Salon that the publisher of "Unfit for Command," the book that is at the center of the attack on Kerry's military record by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is retailing a hoax and should consider withdrawing it from bookstores. "No publisher should want to be selling a book with proven falsehoods in them, especially falsehoods that are meant to smear the military service of an American veteran," said Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton. "If I were them, I'd be ducking under my desk wondering what to do. This is a serious problem."
Even some uncomfortable Republicans might breathe a sigh a relief if "Unfit for Command" were to vanish from bookstores: "I don't think the Swift Boat Veterans are helping the Republican cause," Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., remarked on CNN Thursday.

If it is hurting him, how come those polls are up for him.
Good one.
What do you tell your children when they hear John Kerry on the nightly news?
“Hey kids... roll up the windows... we're passing a farm!”
This is only allowable if you are an anti-war activist.
A chill wind is blowing . . . .
Gawd, I just CANNOT wait for Rush Limbaugh to comment on this one! 
Senator Kerry's campaign may have just created its own Howard Dean moment with this totally stupid suggestion. 
Remember an old saying that doing a dumb thing is "shooting your own foot"? I think Kerry's campaign are shooting their own foots with a cannon at the rate they are going. 
What IS form 180? (What does the sign mean? Thanks.)
Forget those "polls" they're designed to fire up voters. Both campaigns want the election to appear real close so they can continue to arouse the electorate.
Just think of the joy we'll share on Nov 3, that's the goal.
Why not..Kerry blew his butt up with rice being stupid!
Hate-filled Dumbocrats bookburning ceremonies.
Burning Unfit to Command b/c it contains information they hate.
BWAHAHAHA! He'll just help sell another half million books with that approach.
What a whining pansy. Just release ALL your records Kerry and prove it's a falsehood.
Strange I've never heard him denounce Michael Moore for all his totally made up BS but he manages to find a problem with guys that are telling the truth.
George McGovern had the distinct advantage of being a TRUE war hero.
